BEET THEM TO THE PUNCH! Pre-workout, endurance-enhancing fuel… drink 1 to 2 cans per day, 2 hours before athletic performance.

Independent studies have shown that Beet juice increases athletic performance, improves stamina and strength, and also allows the body to recuperate better from physical activity by increasing the amount of oxygen and blood flow to the muscles, heart, and brain*.

Beets are High in Nitrates

Beets are bursting with naturally occurring nitrates. When consumed, a chain reaction occurs in the body that converts these nitrates into nitric oxide (NO) – a molecule that improves oxygen and blood flow throughout the body.

Nitric oxide has two major effects on an athlete. The first is that it causes blood vessels to dilate, enhancing blood and oxygen flow throughout the brain, heart, and muscles. At the same time, it makes the mitochondria more efficient so they are able to create the same energy while consuming less oxygen. This is a powerful combination that helps the body extend endurance and improve intensity levels during exercise.

Athletic Performance

Beet juice increased time to exhaustion: cyclists who drank Beet juice could ride 16% longer than without Beet juice in their diet. The Beet juice also allowed them to increase intensity with less oxygen cost. (study)

In walkers and runners, Beet juice reduced the oxygen cost of walking, as well as moderate and intense running, and increased time to exhaustion for both. (study)

Beets and The Blood – Improves Heart Health

Research has shown that a daily inorganic nitrate dose (like from Beet juice) can be as effective as medical intervention in reducing blood pressure and improving heart health. Some of the findings include:

Drinking 8oz of Beet juice lowered systolic blood pressure by an average of 4-5 points. (study)

Beet juice contributed to a reduction in arterial stiffness as well as a sustained reduction in blood pressure. This was found to be as effective as prescription medication. (study)
